Academy Jazz Ensemble

The Academy Jazz Ensemble

The AJE is a professional big band whose mission is to explore and preserve the music
of America's original art form. The membership includes the finest jazz musicians in the area,
many of whom are public school teachers.
Our repertoire spans from rare and historical big band works to some of the newest original music for
contemporary jazz bands. Our music book represents the passion and poise this ensemble brings to the
stage. This passion makes the Academy Jazz Ensemble a unique voice in the Jazz community.
